Summary "Pelham — Complete" by Edward Bulwer Lytton is a novel likely written in the early to mid-19th century. The narrative centers on the experiences and growth of the protagonist, Henry Pelham, who is introduced as the only child of a family navigating the complexities of social standing and familial reputation in high society. The story unfolds with Pelham's reflections on his upbringing, family dynamics, and childhood friendships, particularly with his classmate Reginald Glanville. The opening of the novel presents a vivid and satirical account of Henry Pelham's childhood and his family's attempts to maintain their social status despite financial setbacks. The narrative begins with the peculiar backstory of Pelham's parents, including a failed elopement and an unexpected inheritance that allows them to retain their superficial elegance. As Pelham recounts his transition to Eton, he details the formation of important friendships and the commentary on the nature of society and education during that period. The early chapters convey a mix of humor and social critique, illustrating Pelham's observations on the behavior and pretenses of the people around him, as well as the complexities of his own character amidst societal expectations.
